x2, it might be the easiest way depending on your current computer.
98/98SE had general USB support but it wasnt plug and play for flash drives, you will need the driver for that particular flash drive. the web site of the flash drive manufacturer may have a copy of the driver, but not all do, drivers for 98/98SE are getting rare. I know I needed the specific flash driver for each of my flash drives that Ive used with my 98/98SE computers. once its installed it will recognize it every time its plugged in after that.
for network transfer you can use a crossover cable between the 2 computers but offhand I forget how you set the network settings up for it (google can help you there though). might be easier to get a cheap router and just do a standard network setup. run the wizards and off you go.
serial cable: you will need a null modem adapter as well as the serial cable, just hooking the cable up serial port to serial port wont do it. the null modem adapter crosses the transmit and receive lines so they can talk to each other.
